Carter Toole, of HoustonTexans.com, reports Houston Texans FS Jammal Lord has shown some positive progress in his transition from being a quarterback in college to a free safety in the NFL, according to head coach Dom Capers. "You can see that Jammal has been a quarterback because he's really into it mentally," Capers said. "He's doing a good job of communication. I think he's made progress. He has not played the position so he has a ways to go there. But you can't expect too much early."

Carlton Thompson, of the Houston Chronicle, reports Houston Texans rookie Jammal Lord received practice reps at free safety during the team's minicamp, May 7. Lord, who played quarterback in college, will continue to bark out signals on the field. "That guy has to be the quarterback of our defense," coach Dom Capers said, referring to the safety position. "He's not reluctant to make calls."

According to Carter Toole of HoustonTexans.com, Houston Texans sixth-round draft pick RB Jammal Lord (Nebraska) will try to make the team as a safety. Lord was an option quarterback for the Cornhuskers.
